London, UK. 19th September 2016. Local residents and traders attended a protest organises by traders from the Brixton Railway Arches, threatened with eviction today by Network Rail, who want to empty all the arches, refurbish them and let them at three times the current rents or more. Network Rail want to increase their profits by replacing valued local businesses by the kind of bland high-price chains and franchises that have blighted high streets across the country. Eleven current leaseholders are thretening to take Network Rail to court despite threats that if they legally challenge the evictions they will not be offered leases in the refurbished arches.
